This wine has an extremely deep, dark ruby color indicating the intensity of the flavors to come. On the nose, layers of ripe black cherry, blackberry, black currant, and eucalyptus mingle with some subtle violet and hibiscus notes. The palate is smooth, intense, and balanced with flavors of black cherry, cassis, blackberry, subtle oak notes together with firm but smooth tannins. This wine pairs naturally with grilled red meats, lamb, and BBQ ribs, but can also be enjoyed by itself.

Deep crimson, ruby at rim; black cherries, tobacco, leather, black currants, prunes, earth; restrained ripe cherry/plummy, silky, medium-full body, good acidity, firm tannins, good finish. Cab sauv character, cigar room and chewy tannins. Lacked depth but still one of the fullest reds I've had from Niagara.

Solid cabernet with deep red color and solid grapes notes. Light residual sugar notes with some tannin. I cold see being paired with grilled meat.
